Instagram Sometimes, it's the smallest gestures that make the biggest memories!
As Melissa Rycroft eagerly waits for the birth of her third child, the former Bachelor contestant received one cute surprise from her youngest friends this weekend.
In a new Instagram post, Melissa revealed to fans that her daughter's dance class turned into an unexpected baby shower!
"Sneaky, sneaky! My friends surprised me with a celebration for Baby Boy during the girls' dance class!!" she wrote on Instagram. "Feeling very lucky and blessed that this little boy is so loved already..."
The adorable dancers all wore blue tutus as matching balloons and cupcakes were spread around the venue. At the same time, Melissa couldn't help but show off her baby bump in denim jeans and a scoop-neck dark blue T-shirt.
Earlier this month, Melissa was also treated to a spa day with her close gal pals. What was supposed to be an afternoon of massages, however, quickly turned into something more.
"I have amazing friends! Not only did they plan a girls spa day for my birthday, they surprised me with a celebration for Baby Strickland!! #feelingblessed," she wrote on Facebook. "Amazing friends!! A birthday spa day, and a surprise celebration for the new baby!! Lucky girl!!"
With just a couple of weeks to go until her due date, Melissa continues to update fans on how she's feeling. As it turns out, the winner of Dancing With the Stars: All Stars is continuing to hold a busy schedule that includes a few work outs.
"Feelin' good and strong at almost 8.5 months!!" she shared on Facebook. "Been doing ZYN22 workouts this whole pregnancy and I feel amazing!! #YesThatsMySelfieStick."
And while Melissa recently traveled to Los Angeles to report from the Dancing With the Stars premiere for Good Morning America, this busy mom is ready to lay low in her final weeks of pregnancy.
"Last trip to LA until after the bambino comes!!" she posted online while posing with her husband Tye Strickland. "So it's Date Night!!!"
